We are currently experiencing issues with our fax lines; we are only intermittently receiving faxes for records and prescriptions at the moment. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

My name is Kimberly Qirushi, and I am a board-certified family nurse practitioner.
I love connecting with patients and empowering them to improve their health while preventing complications. I have a passion for teaching and look forward to bringing my diabetes education to InterMed!
I was interested in healthcare from a young age, motivated by a desire to help others and a curiosity for problem solving. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Southern Maine and worked at Maine Medical Center as a registered nurse for over 10 years. Over this time, I sought many opportunities to educate patients and nursing students, advance up the nursing clinical ladder and continue to expand my knowledge foundation.
Seeking to further advance my nursing career and gain more autonomy in my practice, I went back to school at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, where I earned my Master of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner certificate. I worked at Greater Portland Health for more than a year, providing culturally sensitive, patient-centered compassionate care as a chronic disease nurse practitioner, focusing mostly on diabetes and hypertension.
I have loved living in Portland for more than 10 years with my family. I love the amazing restaurants Portland offers, spending time outside, reading a good book and traveling.
